ifaddrs(netifN) represents a list of addresses currently assigned the
interface i.e. it works dynamically, you do not need to `npfctl reload`.

In fact, in-kernel NPF supports the translation address being a table,
using which you can dynamically insert/delete anything you want.  I just
have not decided on the npf.conf(5) syntax for it yet.

Using what criteria?  Do you want an additional address selection
algorithm or do you just want to filter the dynamic list?
